The group of Corey Jones relatives and local leaders who traveled to Washington, D.C. held a news conference Friday, announcing the results of their meeting with lawmakers.

Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters said U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) agreed to sponsor a bill similar to a 1996 New York executive order that would prohibit plain clothed police officers in unmarked cars from making routine traffic stops.

It was an undercover Palm Beach Gardens police officer who shot and killed Jones last month as he sat in his disabled car on an exit ramp.

“There’s a fear that has gripped the nation when it comes to unmarked cops acting like traffic cops when they're not traffic cops,” Masters said.

Jones' aunt Sheila Banks said she presented a petition to the lawmakers with 4,000 signatures asking for “Corey's Law” to be passed.

Mangonia Park Mayor William Albury said they are also pro-law enforcement, and asking for a law that all officers wear body cameras is a good thing for police as well as citizens.

“It adds another layer of protection for law enforcement, because they can't be falsely accused of anything that might happen, because there’s visual evidence, as well as protecting citizens,” Albury said.

The group said it is also requesting an executive order from Gov. Rick Scott similar to New York’s, as they continue to lobby Congress for “Corey’s Law.”
